Change Waveform Colours

Colours of channel waveforms and labels may be modified by changing the corresponding entry in the Montage Editor configuration file "BesaME.cfg", which is separately stored for each user.

The configuration file is located in the current user's folder, usually "<Program folder>\System\UserDirs\<User name>\". Here, <Program folder> specifies the BESA Research installation folder and <User name> is the user name which was used to log on to Windows.

The colours may be set in the section "[Colors]". If this section is not available, please add the "[Colors]" line (no quotes) at the end of the file and write the colour modifications below this line.

The "ColText..." colors specify the colors of the channel labels. The "ColPlot..." colors specify the colors used for display in the Montage Editor. The "ColWave..." colors specify the colours of the channel waveforms. It is recommended to use the same or similar colour for the 3 corresponding entries.

The colour values are given in [RED,GREEN,BLUE] triples, each value may range from 0 (weakest intensity) to 255 (maximum intensity). For internal reasons, the "ColText..." and "ColPlot..." colours must not be deep black (000,000,000). If a black colour should be set, use a colour close to black (see line ColTextPolygraficChannel=000,000,001). The difference will not be visible.

Note that the configuration file is written when the program is closed. So do not change it while BESA Research is open. Otherwise, your changes will be lost at program termination.

The following color settings are available (the colour triples show the default values):
